地獄義為心路絕處，不幸處，是犯了五逆罪或上品十惡罪的人所去的，吃苦受折磨的地方。在三惡道，即地獄道、畜生道、和餓鬼道中，地獄是火途，謂此道是惡人受熾火燒烤的旅途（如插圖12.1.1-22）。

Hell means the place of despair and misfortune. It is where people who commit “Five Crimes of Anti” or the upper grade of “Ten-Ferocity Crimes” go, where they suffer and are tortured. Among the three evil paths, namely the hell path, livestock path, and hungry ghost path, hell is fire path, which means that this path is a journey where evil people are roasted by fiery fire (as shown in Figure 12.1.1-22).

1. 五逆罪 Five Crimes of Anti

逆義為對心理機制的反操作（如圖23）。插圖23是公元七世紀墨西哥的帕卡爾（Pakal）王的棺材蓋板，顯示特拉洛克（又名金童，獅子）在得知神父過世的信息後，體內發生了爆炸，墮入了地獄（即患了精神病），如獅子頭在火匣中所表示。整幅圖像似人在操縱一部機器，表明特拉洛克在地獄中覺悟到了五逆和十惡罪是對心理機制的逆操作，從而他覺悟到了人神契約（參見15.2節）。

The term Anti refers to the opposite operation of mind mechanics (as shown in Figure 23). Figure 23 is the coffin cover of King Pakal of Mexico in the seventh century CE., showing that after learning about the death of his godfather, Tlaloc (also known as Gold Boy) exploded inside his body and fell into hell (i.e., he became mentally ill), as represented by the Jaguar's head in the firebox. The whole image looks like a person operating a machine, indicating that Tlaloc realized in hell that the five anti crimes and ten ferocious deeds are the reverse operation of mind mechanism, thus he realized Covenant Ark (see Section 15.2).

五逆是指弒父，殺母，出神身血，殺阿羅漢，破和合僧。一般人都是由父母撫養長大的，殺害自己的父母，會破壞內心的環境，患精神病，也就是墮入地獄。

Five Antis are patricide, matricide, bleeding god’s body, killing an Ararat, and to ruin godly trinity making. People are generally raised by their parents, when they kill their parents, they destroy their inner environment and suffer from mental illness, which means they fall into hell.

神的外貌是人思維機制中的默認模型，亦作大種（參見10.2《四大種》）。當大種有變化時，依其所造的一切都會隨着改變，所以人看見流血的神會引起神經錯亂，所以說出神身血會墮入地獄（即患精神病，案例參見9.8 《神的外貌》）。另外，盜、毀、和誹謗神佛的常駐物也屬於出神身血罪。神佛的常駐物如神龕，佛像，廟宇、以及廟宇中的器具等。

The appearance of God is the default model in mind mechanism, also known as the big seed (see 10.2 "Four Big Seeds"). When the big seed changes, everything created by it will change accordingly. Therefore, seeing God bleeding will cause mental disorder, so saying that bleeding God's body will cause people to fall into hell (i.e. suffer from mental illness, for examples, see 9.8 "Godly Appearances"). In addition, stealing, destroying, and slandering the permanent dwelling objects of Gods and Buddhas also belong to the sin of bleeding God. The permanent objects of Gods and Buddhas include shrines, Buddha statues, temples, and vessels in temples, etc.

殺阿羅漢就是殺佛。羅漢山是對成就羅漢果（參見14.2.6《四沙門果》）聖人的稱呼，亦作金剛山，佛。

破和合僧就是破壞上帝三人組（參見9.9節）的合成製作。僧義為上帝的社區，即由神父金童（即亞當）和玉女（即夏娃）所組成的最小的社區。

Killing an Ararat is killing a Buddha. Mountain Ararat is a fame for a sage who has achieved the Ararat Fruit (see 14.2.6 "Four Shamanic Fruits”), also known as Philosopher-Stone Mountain, Buddha.

"Destroying monk making" refers to the act of deliberately sabotaging the ritual or juristic process by which a godfather attempts to unite a "golden boy" (Adam) and a "jade girl" (Eve) in marriage, thus preventing them from achieving their intended godly trinity (see section 9.9). Monk means smallest godly community, consisting of godfather, a gold boy (Adam), and a jade girl (Eve).

例如14.4節《無字天書》中，當墨西哥（亦作金童，特拉洛克）從地獄裡反回到納瓦特國後，翠玉女（即玉女）拒絕把王位轉交給墨西哥。這時苦尤姬（如圖26）帶兵圍住了聖城，要挾蔻特鶹鵂（Coatlicue），要從廢黜的金童中選舉出一位特拉洛克。墨西哥說： “如果民主選舉能造出特拉洛克（即佛），青松石王（即神父）就沒必要犧牲自己來造特拉洛克了。” 說着，他就砍下了苦尤姬的頭，並把她的屍體肢解成了許多塊兒（如圖25所示）。就這樣，苦尤姬成為了一位亞特蘭蒂斯（如圖26），沉沒到了大西洋底。

For example, in section 14.4 of “Wordless Sky Book", when Mexico (also known as Gold Boy, Tlaloc) returned to Nahuatl Kingdom from hell, Chalchiuhtlicue (i.e., Jade Girl) refused to hand over the throne to him. At this time, Coyolxauhqui (as shown in Figure 26) led a siege against the sacred city of Coatepec, threatening Coatlicue to choose a Tlaloc from among the deposed "Golden Boys." Mexico said: "If democratic elections can create Tlaloc (i.e., Buddha), there is no need for Xiuhtecuhtli (i.e., the Godfather) to sacrifice himself to create Tlaloc." As he said this, he chopped off the head of Coyolxauhqui and dismembered her body into many pieces (as shown in Figure 25). In this way, Coyolxauhqui immediately became one of Atl-anti-s and sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

2. 上品十惡 Top Grade of Ten Ferocities

本文從對境增上，對煩惱心增上，和對所作事增上，這三個方面來辨別地獄趣。

（一）對心理環境增上，如殺父、弒母、出神身血、殺阿羅漢、破和合僧；再如毀盜宗教常住物，欺誑君父師長等。

（二）對煩惱心增上，如極重嗔纏，猛利嗔憤等。

（三）對事增上，如數數殺生，數數偷盜，數數邪見，日積月累不改悔等。

以要言之，純從分別見惑所發惡業，名為上品十惡，是地獄因。

This article identifies the hellish interest in terms of the three aspects of the escalation to environments of heart, the escalation to vexatious heart, and the escalation to affairs.

(1) Escalation to the psychological environments, such as killing father, killing mother, bleeding God, killing Ararat, breaking the production of godly trinity; and destroying or stealing religious permanent relics, deceiving leader of the state, father, and teachers, etc.

(2) Escalation to vexatious heart, such as extremely heavy irritable entanglement, extremely ferocious hate, and indignation, etc.

(3) Escalation to affairs, such as repeatedly killing sentients, repeatedly stealing and robbing, repeatedly being heretical, accumulating days and months without repentance, etc.

To summarize, the ferocious karmas that arise purely from the discriminative view muddles are called the Top Grade of Ten Ferocities, and it is the cause of hell.

3. 八寒八熱地獄 Eight Cold and Eight Hot Hells

地獄有八寒，八熱大地獄，一百零八游增地獄等說法。八寒八熱等大獄，各有眷屬，其類無數。此獄眾生，隨其作業輕重，經劫不定。罪重者，一日之中，數十次生死劫難。壽命不定，極長者可達一劫。

地獄趣的壽命怎麼這麼長？前文說了，大千世界談的是業，業相互薰染，可存活數十、百年，例如傳統（也是業）能流傳數千年。

There are eight cold great hells, eight hot great hells, and 108 temporary supplement hells. Eight cold and eight hot great hells, each has its own families and affiliations, categories are countless. The sentient beings in the prisons, depending on the severity of their karma makings, experience uncertain. Those who have committed serious crimes suffer dozens of death-and-alive disasters in one day. Their lifespans are uncertain, the extremely long one can reach a catastrophe.

Why do hell interests have such a long lifespan? As mentioned earlier, what the world is talking about is karma, and karma infects each other, can survive for tens or hundreds of years. For example, traditions (also karmas) can be passed down for thousands of years.
